Holiday Inn Express and Suites Fort Worth Haltom City, an IHG Hotel
Airport shuttle and a nine-minute ride to the water park
About this hotel
The airport shuttle and the nine-minute taxi ride to NRH2O Family Water Park make this the pick for a family combining a Mercantile Center-area stay with a day at the water park, without needing a rental car for that particular trip. The pool on site covers the days that stay closer to the hotel, and the business center handles a work call or a printed boarding pass without hunting for a business lounge. A five-minute taxi ride reaches Texas Roadhouse for dinner, and free parking and free Wi-Fi keep the basics predictable throughout the stay. Guest ratings sit at 7.2/10 across 131 reviews, in line with the informal billing. Haltom City lies just north-east of central Fort Worth, which keeps both NRH2O and the Mercantile Center area within a short drive.

Our take
This suits a family planning a water park day trip who wants the airport shuttle as a backup for flight days, plus a business center for anyone squeezing in work between family activities. Travellers wanting to walk everywhere without a taxi should look at one of the more walkable Fossil Creek properties instead, since several of the highlights here are a short ride rather than a walk away.
- Book the taxi to NRH2O Family Water Park in the morning to beat the midday crowds.
- Use the airport shuttle on flight days rather than arranging a separate car service.
- Handle any work tasks in the business center before or after the water park day.

Why guests love itThe nine-minute taxi ride to NRH2O Family Water Park turned into the highlight of the whole trip, with the pool back at the hotel covering the quieter days in between. The airport shuttle on the departure day meant not having to book a separate car service, and a quick stop in the business center handled a work email before checkout. Texas Roadhouse, a five-minute ride away, covered dinner on the one night nobody wanted to unpack the cooler.
